I find it a bit challenging to keep track of calories and foods cause it can seem like a hassle but I take the time to do it cause I know it will be worth it and will come easier just as exercise and clean diet will! Best wishes for you all!

    Entering your foods into your diary doesn't take long, at all. It takes up a few minutes of my day, not even that.

    What is a clean diet?

    heh

    I don't know what you define as "unhealthy," but are you really planning on avoiding some foods for the rest of your life?

    I wash some of my foods prior to eating. Does that make them clean? Usually I just do it because I didn't want to eat dirt.

    So do you think you'll be able to do this for the rest of your life? What if you go out for a meal with friends? What then?

    Super greasy... so I assume you don't use oils to cook with?

    Stop labeling foods healthy and unhealthy. Everything is unhealthy in abundance - one unhealthy meal won't make you unhealthy, one healthy meal won't make you healthy.

    I take life one day at a time. I don't really go out. I am busy with my nursing career. I like healthy fats but try to avoid too much cheese and salt particularly. I get your point. I agree with that. No one healthy food will not make you healthy and one unhealthy food will not make you unhealthy. That's common sense but there are foods that are better than others. Everyone's body is different. For example, I have had gall bladder surgery so I have to avoid foods high in fat because bile is what helps break down fat. I aim for high protein. I am not trying to really debate anything here. What's considered as clean eating varies between opinions. Have you really not heard that term before? :) Anyway best wishes with whatever you do.

    Ya I guess some people really get offended about that term. It does mean different things to different people but I already cut certain foods out of my diet that I'll never eat again after my surgery.

    I don't think anyone here is offended by your use of that term.

    Yes it does make your food cleaner.
    It helps wash of pesticides from fruits and vegetables ... Or dirt :)

    People don't get offended as such, but the term 'clean eating' is one that is thrown around so often, and it doesn't actually mean anything; anybody which uses this term is usually asked to define it, and then chaos and cat gifs ensue :p

    "Clean" is used in so many different ways that it doesn't have a concrete definition. If you use it to mean "not greasy" we can work with that, but a lot of people use it differently.

    I don't think people objecting to an unclear term is the same thing as being offended.
